#History #Postwar Hello! The days are passing, and the war is still going on. Ukraine is heroically defending itself against the Russian attack. So I am continuing the series of topics that I started last week, which are indirectly related to what is currently happening in Eastern Europe. Today I decided to deal with the history of Vladimir Putin and his career in the KGB. The current President of Russia has dreamed of working in the services since his early youth. He first appeared at the Leningrad KGB headquarters at the age of 18. However, he hit a wall then, because the officer who received him on the spot announced that in order to get into the KGB, he had to either finish college or join the army. Putin chose the former. Interestingly, during his training at the spy school, his superiors noticed that he was less afraid of making risky decisions. Putin often made irrational choices. In this episode of the Postwar series, I also take up the topic of his stay in the GDR. He lived very well in East Germany. He even gained 9 kilograms. At that time, he recruited collaborators for the Soviet Union's services not only from the German Democratic Republic, but also from all over the world. If you are curious about this story, I invite you to this episode of the Postwar series. I would like to thank all the patrons of the channel on Patronite!!! Thanks to your funds, I will soon publish my first book. https://patronite.pl/powojnie. And now I invite you to watch the film!
